Blood test result - Hashimotos
Hi all, I have recently had a scan of my thyroid and it’s confirmed my diagnosis of Hashimotos. When I spoke to my doctor about this I explained I was struggling massively with my weight, coldness and tiredness. Because of this he requested a blood test which all seems ok apart from my Thyroid peroxidase

TSH results
could anyone advise on the following I had my TSH results 6 months ago and it came back 3.7 ( was taking 50mg of Levothyrine) and had been on this dosage for years. Just had another test and it’s now come down to 1.3 still taking the same Levothyrine 50mg. the only thing that’s changed in that time

overdose Levo
I take my Levo before bed 125mcg Last Wednesday evening I took double by mistake. Within 15 mins I felt nausea palpitations heart rate was 158 while lying down blood pressure 178/110 This went on for several hours. I couldn’t move as the slivers movement made me feel like my heart was going to explode

Blood Results - and poor treatment/support from NHS - feel lost and unwell
I have been diagnosed severe Graves with high antibodies for about 8 years and suffered a number of relapses where usually end up in A&E.

Irritability on levo dose increase?
Hello all, I'm about 4 weeks in to a dose increase of levo from 100 to 125mcg. I'm familiar with a surge in 'wired and frantic' energy when I've reached about the 3 week point on a new higher dose in the past. And I had that a few days ago. It had settled. However today I've been increasingly irritable

more advice
I have a visit with the endocrinologist on Thursday so would like advice on what I should ask for. Diagnosed hypothyroidism in February and prescribed levothyroxine (accord brand) which left me with chronic joint pain. I had loads of other tests which came back normal and doctors refused to believe it

Anomalous results - follow up
Hello everyone, This is a follow up to my last post two months ago which described the anomalous results from two tests one NHS and one Medichecks only one day apart and both done following the usual protocol. These were done following an increase in levo to 100mcg on 1 June. As I expected when my GP

My latest results show that I'm overmedicated. I'm currently on 150mg of levothyroxine and 31.5mcg of t3. I don't feel overmedicated. My bowels are usually an indication that im over, but im still getting my usual sluggish bowel. I'm a little tired but I'm menopausal too. Should I reduce anything or

On 100mcg Levo keep waking at 4am heart rate has increased.
I’ve been on 100mcg for nearly 6 weeks now. I’ve been taking melatonin for about 3 months and sleeping well but I’ve stopped taking it as I’ve been reading it can lower your Testosterone levels. Felt fine stopping was sleeping ok for a week but gradually my resting heart rate has gone from late 40s to
